confirmation:

Enter the legal name of the organisation that will use this AS Number in the "legal-organisation-name:" field. If this organisation has a website, enter the URL in the "website-if-available:" field. Otherwise, enter "none" in this field.

If you are an LIR sending this request on behalf of an End User, you should answer "Yes" in the "end-user-of-sponsoring-lir" field.

If you answered "Yes" you should also confirm that all of the elements of paragraph 2.0 of "Contractual Requirements for Provider Independent Resource Holders in the RIPE NCC Service Region Link: /publications/docs/ripe-452/ " are listed in the 'End User Assignment Agreement' that is signed by the End User and the sponsoring LIR. PI assignments can only be made to End Users if there is a signed 'End User Assignment Agreement' between the sponsoring LIR and the End User.

You can find an example agreement at http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/lir-end-user-agreement.html Link: /manage-ips-and-asns/resource-management/number-resources/independent-resources/independent-assignment-request-and-maintenance-agreement/ .

You can send us an agreement in your local language or use the English version.

If this request is sent by a Direct Assignment User, you answer "No" to the above two questions. Direct Assignment Users have already signed an 'End User Assignment Agreement' with the RIPE NCC. If the request is for an LIR, you should also answer with "No".

Supplemental Comments

#[SUPPLEMENTAL COMMENTS]#
%
% Please add more information if you think it will help us understand 
% this request.

Our peering agreements are provisional and will be confirmed
when the new AS Number is assigned.

% If you require a 16-bit AS Number instead of a 32-bit AS Number, 
% please indicate this below and tell us why. For more information,
% see http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-32-guide.html

AS Number Type: 16-bit

Why 16-bit: Our routers are not 32-bit enabled.

As of 1 January 2009, all AS Numbers assigned by the RIPE NCC will be 32-bit by default. If you require a 16-bit AS Number change the default entry "32-bit" to "16-bit" and explain why you require a 16-bit AS Number. If you require further clarification, please see:
http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-32-guide.html Link: /about-us/news/32-bit-autonomous-system-numbers-a-guide-for-lirs/
